Abstract

This study seeks to contrast the discourse and practice of students and secondary school teachers when searching, evaluating and selecting digital information in a secondary classroom. This is a case study that has used a multi-source data triangulation (discussion groups, class registration and self-report interviews). The results indicate the interest of the students to work connected to the in- ternet in the classroom, although it is observed that it has difficulties in the interpretation of videos and graphics, and that it does not take into account the authorship of the text. On the other hand, teachers have questioned their role and show reluctance to change. The conclusions suggest that a didactic of informational literacy is necessary based on the real practices and interests of the students. For this, a change of role and beliefs of the teaching staff is required.

KEYWORDS: information search, information evaluation, ICT, teachers, students.
